whats the difference with jewel? still noob in watch world  hmm.gif


Added on September 2, 2012, 7:29 pmbtw, is it normal that it's a bit annoying adjusting the date? i need to scroll clockwise many times to move the date and it doesn't allow anti-clockwise/backwards?

if i passed the date then i need to scroll all over again

more jewel typically means better movement, not ways. note due to that ETA 251 also cost more about double the price.

Certina DS First Chronograph not marketed well, price is not much higher that aud$470.
for about ~aud$680 can get a uhr.info with ETA 7750.

read about G10

lucky G10 is cheap at ~usd$60, faulty just replace

U cannot alter the function. you can change a movement to allow that, or simply get a different watch.

Oris don't make any quartz watch, but their mechanical watches does uses the most reliable entry level work horse.
Tissot on the other hand, is part of swatch group has access to cheaper mechanical movement, not as reliable but prices it can't be beat.
iirc I recall reading somewhere that Swatch sells its movement at 4X the price to brands outside the group.

i wouldnt be surprised if most swiss brands outsource, as they only need to be 51% swiss to have the swiss made label.
that said, oris quality is pretty decent anyway.

Pretty decent?

Hmmm, if their case isn't too bad then I won't mind since strap can be changed.

not deep stuff if u take a closer look. basically 2892/2894 family movement are found in more expensive brands.

This is rubber not leather, not seen leather type.

I think can get below 1K after nego.
That Tissot is fitted with a cheap G10.211 (4 jeweled) sealed quartz movement. If you want a better one, look for Certina DS First Chronograph that is fitted with an ETA 251.262 (27 jeweled) quartz movement.

that may be a problem with oris biggrin.gif
their cases are actually pretty nice, you can go hold one and see for urself.
but once u do hold one, u can also see some models especially the divers, have their own lug design which means u need customised straps.
go surf forums like watchuseek and the oris divers are the ones that ppl usually buy anyway...most dont bother about changing straps anyway since the ones that come with it are also good enough.

30% is a pretty decent discount from AD. Anything more than that you may have to go the grey dealer way.

you budget only can touch those on ETA 2824/2836 or SW 200/220. see which model u like then ask if can change or not. as for how many jewels depends either 21 or 26.
http://www.authenticwatches.com/oris.html

U should read this Oris forum
http://www.friendsoforis.com/forum/index.p...elita-movement/

U should really google on the above in red.

none, unless u willing to pay more.
the cheapest Tag is their F1, prices are ~3k and up. furthermore they are all quartz. F1 is like their fashion watch. every 2-3yr change design.
